Deacon Blue Hey Craig Lyrics

Hey Craig Lyrics

Had a band once 

Bass and drums 

I sang and played piano 

Craig played guitar 

Always knew the tunes 

had the records made tapes 

kept dates 

Never fell over once 



Once when we were in the car 

Listening back smiling 

we felt surrounded by stars 



Hey Craig do you still wear your guitar 

hanging down about your knees 

do you still throw up your window 

to let out the old year 



I remember once someone letting off fireworks 

you out your window 

wondering where the war was 

bought a jacket scrolled 

with Rock and Roll I never wore 

you took it everywhere 

moved your sister's stuff in a van 

your mum drove us home again 



Hey Craig the kids are growing up 

you can be young again 

Hey Craig let's say "the Shields is gallus" 

one more time again 

Hey Craig we'll stop the car now 

and check the trees again 

Hey Craig we'll do what we did badly 

and do it bad again 

bad again 

and I'll come back again 

bad again 

and I'll come back again 



put this on an old tape 

Lush were still bleeding through 

thought you'd understand that 

It should have happened on this tape too
